Bible studies and Christian music have been banned by a Florida condo association.
Todd Starnes of Fox News reports that a sign posted on an organ located in a commons area of Cambridge House, a condo building in Port Charlotte, Florida read in caps, “ANY AND ALL CHRISTIAN MUSIC IS BANNED.”
Residents were also allegedly told they could no longer host a weekly Bible study in the commons area, according to a Fair Housing complaint filed with the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
On Feb. 6 Cambridge House passed a resolution that read,
“Prayers and other religious services, observations, or meetings of any nature shall not occur at meetings of the Association (Owner meetings, member meetings, committee meetings, or, otherwise) and shall not occur in or upon any of the common elements,”
According to First Liberty Institute, a law firm that specializes in religious liberty cases the condo association also shut down a Bible study,
Donna Dunbar, hosted a weekly Bible study for ladies in the condo’s social room. They sang songs, prayed and most recently were studying a book called, “Experiencing God,” by Henry Blackaby. Other groups of similar size used the room for thrice-weekly card games and movie nights.
On Feb. 7, Dunbar and her husband received a letter from Gateway Management ordering them to cease and desist the Bible study.
A lawsuit is being considered….
